    Just the ol fishing line method. Run a length of fishing line behind emblem to cut the adhesive from the emblem. You'll then have to carefully work the large parts of the adhesive off by hand, then remove any minor excess with an adhesive remover of your choice (I use that goo-gone type stuff).

    I usually then follow up with a quick buff with some rubbing compound to even things out. Then wash /wax as normal to remove anything left over from the process.

    Do these just plug into existing wiring or did you have to splice into something?

    Your truck is 3 years newer than my 16 and you have a different ECU all together , and I am sure it has all the updates that mine received . Start and stop driving is bad for mpgs, I am sure that is your problem .
    I was referring to all the older trucks (2016 and some 2017's ) that may not have had the ECU update to 04B04

    You have to run new wiring, then there is a harness included that plugs into oem wiring. Check out the install guide on the product page.

    Hood is from Roadrunner fibreglass. Required a lot of prep work before I could paint, unfortunately, but came out great !

    Yeah, when I actually get to do highway driving I can average 20-21 mpgs. My stop and start is what kills it, especially since a lot of my starting is going uphill too :( but oh well, if I wanted great gas mileage I wouldn’t have bought a truck!

    How are you liking the 5.29 gearing? I am running 34" Coopers. Had 4.88's installed about 2 years ago when i was on 285/70/17's now i am thinking about going to 5.29's or waiting for OVtune to add upgrades to the tune for gears and larger tires. But have no idea when that might happen!

    Nice! You're missing the center bolt! My kit didn't have that bolt in it so I got one from Hardware Hawaii!

    Hey guys I installed grille lights. I have two questions.

    I have ditch lights grounded to this circled location. Can I add the grille lights to the same spot?

    If no where else could I ground?

    Thanks!
